requires all credentialed merchant
mariners and individuals with
unescorted access to secure areas of a

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
peregrine falcon is found almost
worldwide. It is found throughout much
of North America from the subarctic
boreal forests of Alaska and Canada
south to Mexico. The Arctic peregrine
falcon (F. p. tundrius) nests in the
tundra of Alaska, Canada, and
Greenland, and is typically a longdistance migrant, wintering as far south
as South America. The American
peregrine falcon (F. p. anatum) occurs
throughout much of North America
from the subarctic boreal forests of
Alaska and Canada south to Mexico.
The American peregrine falcon nests
from central Alaska, central Yukon
Territory, and northern Alberta and
Saskatchewan, east to the Maritimes and
south throughout western Canada and
the United States to Baja California,
Sonora, and the highlands of central
Mexico. However, it is not found in
areas of the Pacific Northwest occupied
by the Peales’s peregrine falcon (F. p.
pealei), a year-round resident of the
northwest Pacific coast from northern
Washington to the Aleutian Islands.
Peregrine falcons declined
precipitously in North America
following World War II, a decline
attributed largely to organochlorine
pesticides, mainly DDT, applied in the
United States and Canada. Because of
the decline, we listed the Arctic and
American peregrine falcon subspecies
were listed as endangered under the
Endangered Species Act (16 U.S.C. 1531
et seq. on October 13, 1970 (35 FR
16047).
We removed the Arctic peregrine from
the Federal List of Endangered and
Threatened Wildlife on October 5, 1994
(59 FR 50796) but still regulated this
species under the Act in the contiguous
PO 00000
Frm 00049
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
63921
U.S. due to the similarity of appearance
provision for all peregrine falcons; the
American peregrine falcon remained
listed as endangered. However, on
August 25, 1999, we removed the
American peregrine from the list (64 FR
46541) because the subspecies had
considerably exceeded the recovery
goals set for it in most areas.
Anticipating delisting, in June 1999,
the States, through the International
Association of Fish and Wildlife
Agencies, had proposed allowing take of
migrant peregrines for falconry. In an
October 4, 1999, Federal Register notice
(64 FR 53686), we stated that we would
consider a conservative level of take of
migrant peregrine falcons in the United
States. The DEA we announce in this
notice is required as part of our
consideration of allowing the take of
migrant peregrines.
In the DEA, we considered six
alternatives to address potential take of
migrant peregrine falcons in the United
States and Alaska. Under the No-Action
Alternative, no legal take of migrant
peregrine falcons for falconry could
occur. We also evaluated alternatives
that would allow take in different
locations and at different times.
The preferred alternative is to allow
take of peregrine falcons between
September 20th and October 20th from
areas of the continental areas south of
31degrees North latitude and east of 100
degrees West longitude, and within the
State of Alaska. The allowed take would
be consistent with management goals
outlined in the DEA, and would be very
unlikely to have negative effects on any
portion of the populations of peregrine
falcons in North America or Greenland.
Most of the alternatives would require
reductions in the allowed take of
nestling American peregrine falcons in
the 12 western States in which it is
allowed. We propose to allow the
decisions on allocation of the reduced
take of nestlings to the States
themselves, with the recommendations
made through the Flyway Councils.

Acting Director, U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service.

in hard copy in file cabinets or other secure storage units.
Retrievability:
Records may be retrieved by computer search via the name, address,
or Social Security Number of the defaulted borrower and manually by
combination of account number and name of primary defaulted borrower.
Safeguards:
Records are maintained in a secure computer network and in locked
file cabinets in office space with controlled access.
Retention and Disposal:
Computer records for all active cases are available online in
DCAMS. Computer records on inactive cases retired from the system are
removed from the DCAMS online files and retained in batch files. The
case remarks for these cases remain available online. Some reports can
be generated based on the information stored in the batch files.
Computer records for inactive cases that have been purged from the
system are not retained in a batch file. The financial histories for
these cases have been printed to microfiche. No other reports are
available for purged cases. Records stored in paper files for inactive
cases are retained in a Federal Records Center. Records are disposed of
and archived in a manner that is consistent with the applicable
official HUD Records Disposition Schedules and guidelines.
